Welcome to the first, GIANT SIZED episode of What Is Black? Podcast. WIB?P, as it’s been promoted ad nauseum is a bi-weekly podcast where we talk with Black creatives from varied disciplines in whilst defying the myth of a Black monolith.

To kick things off, we talk with Musician/Singer + Songwriter/Creative Director Stéfon Charlot who is a “bad bitch” and happens to be the catalyst for starting this podcast. Join us as we talk about being creative during a multifaceted pandemic, the crimes against Kanye West and Azealia Banks, and disposable White people.
